Something Weird on CBN

Dear Readers,

I was watching a 700 Club Interactive show on ABC Family. Sometime while I was sitting on my bed and out of the shower, while I had my dress held closer to me, and I heard the weirdest thing come up in the prayers about miracles. First off, being blind, I think faith healing is a real joke because disabilities are what they are. Real Christians have to accept disability as truth. The facts that are simple are that I was born blind and then developed some mental issues. What’s weird though about faith healing today was that some guy, was it Pat or Gordon, prayed something I didn’t expect: “Someone is sick and has been sick for so long it’s become part of their identity.” I’m asking if that’s me. I’ve had mental issues for about ten years, and that’s a while. What is going on! Somebody tell me if this is God or something else altogether! Oh God, help me!
